I have no problems executing a batch file by right clicking on it and choosing "Run as Administrator". Batch file

I created a new text file on my desktop, added a single line "pause" to it, then renamed the extension to .bat (also works with .cmd) and right clicked on it and chose Run as Administrator. Worked fine.

I am unable to run this specific batch file. When I attempt it, I am left with "Access is denied..." to C:\Windows\.
If I attempt to run it elevated or under the Administrator credentials, by right clicking it, it doesn't do anything at all.

The batch script is fairly simple, shown in the first post of this thread.
